Signing bonus: £20k each year.
Current YOE: ~3yrs
TC: ~30LPA (Microsoft IDC)

Looking to next promo soon. Thinking between taking this offer or considering switch to redmond post L62 promo. Looking for suggestions and thoughts on London Vs Redmond.
Main motivation is to relocate abroad and explore and no serious ideas on where to settle long term
Amazon London:
Pros
- have the offer now
- closer to India, easier immigration
Cons:
- less work life balance
- tech market is smaller lesser options to switch around
- lose option of moving to Microsoft Redmond. Though amazon seattle would be an option after spending some years.
- downleveled
Microsoft Redmond:
Pros:
- better long term savings
- better tech scene, can switch teams internally too (if VISA restricts switches)
Cons:
- no offer in hand now, need to wait till end of year to try for internal transfer
- tied to company due to L1
- farther from home
I understand the culture and vibe of both the countries is different, which should be a deciding factor but don't know enough, looking for opinions and suggestions from the blind community in terms of career growth and location criteria. Have an ongoing loop with Bloomberg, but haven't applied for any other companies in London yet. Will need to decide on this offer within a couple of days. Please suggest.
